Toyota Forklift Part
Toyota Forklift Parts - In the United States, Toyota Materials Handling inc., or TMHU, has been the best selling lift truck provider since 1992. Proudly celebrating more than 40 years of performance, the Irvine, California based business offers an extensive line of quality lift trucks. Owing to their reputation of superiority, reliability, and resilience, Toyota remains prevalent in this competitive market. Quality is the foundation of Toyota's notorious Toyota Production System practiced at all manufacturing facilities, including TIEM, which is stands for Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, located in Columbus, Indiana. The majority of the Toyota lift trucks sold in the U.S. are manufactured here.
Every one of Toyota's manufacturing plants within Canada and the U.S. comply with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 standard. The Columbus TIEM plant has been honored on many occasions for its devotion to relentless improvement and its environmentally friendly systems. It is the first and only manufacturer to offer EPA and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks on the market. To illustrate, the Toyota 8-Series IC lift trucks emit 70 percent fewer smog forming emissions than the existing centralized EPA standards and have complied with California's strict emission standards and policies.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. - The Industry Leader
Brett Wood, President of TMHU, links Toyota's accomplishment to its strong commitment to fabricating the best quality lift vehicles while delivering the utmost customer service and support. "We must be able to learn and predict the needs of our customers," said Brett Wood. "As a leader, our success also depends on our ability to address our customers' operational, safety and environmental cost issues." TMHU's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, also referred to as TICO, is listed in Fortune Magazine as the world's principal lift truck supplier and is among the magazines prominent World's Most Admired Companies.
New Meaning to Environmental Accountability
Toyota's parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation, has imparted an excellent corporate philosophy towards environmental stewardship within Toyota. Toyota's rich history of environmental protection whilst retaining economic viability can not be matched by other corporations and undoubtedly no other resource handling maker can yet rival Toyota. Environmental accountability is a key characteristic of corporate decision making at Toyota and they are proud to be the first and only producer to provide UL-listed, EPA- and CARB-certified Compressed Natural Gas powered lift trucks. Yet one more reason they remain a leader within the industry.
Toyota first introduced the 8-Series line of lift trucks in 2006, again exhibiting its leadership and innovation in the industry. Featuring an exclusive emission system that eclipsed both Federal EPA emission values, and California's more environmentally friendly emission standards. The end creation is a lift truck that creates 70 percent less smog forming emissions than the present Federal standards allow.
Moreover in 2006, Toyota developed an affiliation with the Arbor Day Foundation, furthering their dedication to the environment. More than 57,000 trees have been planted in community parks and national forests damaged by ecological causes such as fires, as a result of this partnership. 10,500 seedlings have also been distributed through Toyota Industrial Equipment's system of sellers to non-profit organizations and local consumers to help sustain communities all over the U.S.
Toyota's lift vehicles offer improved stability, visibility, output, ergonomics, and all the foremost safety technology that has made Toyota an industry leader. The company's System of Active Stability, also referred to as "SAS", helps limit the possibility of accidents and accidental injuries, and increasing productivity levels while minimizing the potential for product and equipment damage.
System Active Stability senses numerous aspects that could lead to lateral insecurity and potential lateral overturn. When any of those factors are detected, SAS immediately engages the Swing Lock Cylinder to stabilize the rear axle. This alters the lift truck's stability trajectory from triangular in shape to rectangular, offering a major increase in stability which substantially reduces the probability of an accident from a lateral overturn. The Active Mast Function Controller or the Active Control Rear Stabilizer also assists to avoid injuries or accidents while adding strength.
The SAS systems were originally utilized on the 7-Series internal combustion lift trucks which were put on the market in 1999. These systems helped propel Toyota into the lead for industry safety standards. Now, SAS is adopted on practically every new internal combustion models and is standard equipment for the new 8-Series. There are more than 100,000 SAS-equipped lift trucks in operation, exceeding 450 million hours combined. The increased population of SAS-equipped vehicles in the field, along with mandatory worker education, overturn fatalities across all brands have decreased by 13.6% since 1999. Also, there has been an overall 35.5% drop in industry wide collisions, loss of control, falls and overturn from a lift vehicle for the same period.
Toyota's rigid principles continue far beyond the machinery itself. The company believes in providing general Operator Safety Training services to help clients meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178. Instruction services, video lessons and assorted resources, covering a broad scope of topics-from personal safety, to OSHA regulations, to surface and load situations, are offered through the dealer network.
Since the transaction of its first lift truck in the U.S. to the manufacture of its 350,000th lift truck produced in 2009 at Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing, TMHU has continued a solid presence in the U.S. This fact is demonstrated by the statistic that 99% of Toyota lift trucks sold in America now are manufactured in the United States.

Facilities include a National Customer Center, as well as production operations and supply centers for equipment and service components, with the total commitment exceeding $113 million dollars.
